Discover Your Beautiful State
Compassionate therapy to help you find balance and peace
Meet Ashley
Ashley King, MA, LPC, LPC-S/C, NCC, ADHD-CCSP
I believe that within each of us lies an innate capacity for healing and growth, even in our darkest moments. Using practical, everyday approaches rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and ADHD with compassion and understanding. What makes my practice unique is the 'Beautiful State' approach—inspired by wisdom I received during one of life's most difficult chapters: the promise to stay in a beautiful state of mind no matter what life brings. From profound loss came purpose: creating a space where others can discover their own beautiful state of resilience, balance, and hope. Like the lotus that blooms from muddy waters into something beautiful, I believe we all have the capacity to transform our struggles into strength.
